Camp Bisco Update

Due to situations out of our control, the Bays cannot enter the United States as a group and therefore cannot play Camp Bisco this year. We would like to apologize to everyone who was looking forward to this performance. We were just as excited as everyone else to have them as a part of Camp Bisco.

In light of this recent development, we are EXTREMELY excited to announce that a couple of the top players from Camp Bisco have stepped up and taken the Bays slot. Marc Brownstein, Simon Posford, Aron Magner, and Zach Velmer are going to fill the slot, as The New Originals. This one time only, all improvised, psychedelic set featuring some all-star musicians is guaranteed to be a highlight of Camp Bisco. Marc, Aron, and Zach have shown their chemistry before in the short lived super group Suckapunch, and are joining together for the first time since then with world renowned musician and producer Simon Posford. We would like to thank each individual musician for stepping up and helping us fill this slot with such amazing talent. This extremely rare grouping of musicians coming together at the last minute is what Camp Bisco is all about.

Event Information is as follows:
CAMP BISCO 6
August 16-18 2007
3 nights of music and camping
Indian Lookout Country Club
Mariaville, NY
Tickets available now at www.campbisco.net, www.discobiscuits.com and

Wow hopefully by Thursday DB will learn how to sing there own songs. Or By some type of miracle they all loses there voices. This band is a fucking joke and makes the live electronica's crowd look like a bunch of assholes. Anyone who is going there get ready to go to shithole america where the cops are a bunch of fucking bikers who will just steal your shit and sell it right back.FUCK DISCO BUISCUITS

They also thank themselves for planning their own festival "We would like to thank each individual musician for stepping up and helping us fill this slot with such amazing talent"

I think they just referred to themselves as "amazing talent". Thats modest. I've never heard Bela, Zappa, Wooten or Cinninger refer to themselves as amazing talent in a public announcement about another band; and those guys are pretty much deities of music.

What is Suckapunch? Supergroup?

Man...

When i think of a super group, I imagine Jimmy Page and Dwayne Allman jamming with Jaco Pastorius and Neil Peart or something; not one half of Bisco and some random guy I've never heard of before jamming and experimenting with each other.

danwonsover, your negativity really saddens me. This is going to be the sickest weekend in NY, and an experimental group like this should be something to look forward to, not bash before you've even heard it.

Everyone posting here wants to see Jimmy Page get up on stage with Robert Plant, backed up by Les Claypool and Stewart Copeland. And then in the same fantasy, Phish would jump on stage for a sick superjam. But we all know that will never, ever, ever happen.

But just a few days from now, Simon Posford is taking the stage to create music we have never heard before. It might be mediocre, but given the caliber of musicians, this is something I need to catch. Since none of us have the omnipresent power to look into the future and tell if that next set is going to be 90 minutes of garbage or the greatest night of our lives, keep an open mind and GO SEE LIVE MUSIC.

I really didn't intend to offend. Hope to see you at the camp, buddy. Look for me. I'll be front and center for Infected Mushroom in a pair of white UFO pants.

and P.S.: THANK GOD THERE IS A SCHEDULE UP! In case anyone missed it from the earlier post, I'm putting the URL here too.

have fun at the dirtiest scumbag festival of the year, the Bays were on eof the very few only legit bands on the bill too. I love Bisco, but common, this festival ya'll hafta admit is going to be so dirty and scummy...it's all electronic and DJ's for 3 days, what do you expect?

danwonsover makes sense even though negative as sh*t.This article was clearly written be Mr. Brownstein himself or another member of the the EGO Biscuits. Too many kids on e worship has gotten to them. supergroup?hahahaMake no mistake, this is an ad NOT an article or a story. We still LOVE jambase.

I think it was more of a thank you to posford and zach for being able to perform on such short notice. I don't think they were trying to thank themselves, but whatever if you wannna dicks about them filling an empty slot so be it.

I second what eric said. I'll definitely be checking it out. I hope someone out there records that set and hallucinogen in dub as a live band.

There's no need to trash the biscuits. Alot of kids are too obsessed, but that's pretty obvious. Some of their fans are too much. I pretty much expect the scene to be pretty dirty, the needles and shit. But I get to see music I normally wouldn't give a chance, so it's cool. Shame Lotus or the Duo (playing Duo stuff) aren't there. Hope for some Solstice and/or Gamma Goblins, that bassline is fahking sick

im not jumping on the "negative" bus, but BISCO really still doesnt do it for me... after seein them 4 times waiting to see if they would bring "the heat" I realize that "the heat" is brought by those consuming large doses of X, and most of these individuals also wear their collar popped (you know who im talking about)... anyway the point is that electronic jambands like BISCO will soon see their end along with their scummy-fratastic fans.

Man the hatred is out in full force. Somebody used the word "fratastic", does that mean bisco has now taken over the panic nation? and what's the deal with the "scumbags"? That's just a harsh over-generalization made by people who think their fave band is "more hippy" than yours. The Biscuits aren't going anywhere, folks, if you don't like it. don't listen. but please stop the hate

the biscuits get down and dirty,sometimes i get sick of the flowery shit some jambands put down and need something a little heavier.i like to thrown my old bones around with the raver kids sometimes,they have a real quality about them.throw down some danceable beats and watch them get all sweaty,it's fun.open your minds.

Scifreak and danwonsover, you both make me sick. You should probably think before you speak. If you can't enjoy music because of fans, well then you are a piece of you know what. When I went to 10klf a few weeks ago, the most ridiculous and out of control fans were by far the CHEESE fans. If the music is over your heads, just admit it, its ok. But stay away from the fans, you are just pissing us off and probably making it MORE likely that the things you complain about keep happening. I don't see how complaining about Bisco makes tour heads any less desperate to steal your shit. They must be doing something right if normal Johnnie and Susies from Normalville, USA, want to go watch them and get spun. I don't know this frat, popped collar scene you are talking about. Maybe its because I WATCH THE BAND AND NOT THE AUDIENCE. Broaden your horizons or lose the negativity, unless you really do think you are better than everyone here, which is a posibility.

i love bisco, but this is a great festival without even mentioning that bisco is playing...STS9, Umphreys, Zilla,and anything simon posford touches. stop wasting your time trying to convince bisco fans on bisco threads that they suck. new originals are going to be sick, velmer is one of the best drummers out there

gmoo, its ridiculous to say that an audience cant have an effect on a show. the bisco crowd is the most disgusting display of human waste that exists (for the most part). Back in the wetlands days, the biscuits really impressed and turned heads. Now the shows are average at best and the members of the band annoy people with their egos. Im sure you're just one of those e popping crackheads.

Its a shame, i like the concept of the band and a lot of their material. The last show i attended was their 10th anniversary show in Asbury, after seeing those scumbag fans, i could never go back.

I agree with SCI freak, but that doesn't mean what we think is correct, it's just our opinion. When someone says they don't like a band and another person calls them out on it and says their wrong..........thats retarded. Not everyone on this site is going to enjoy the same music and for someone to go and try to change someone's opinion about a band on the internet.....c-mon. RESPECT

I'm so upset I won't be able to make it to this one (although it's alright since i'll be seeing ratdog on friday in camden) but it should be incredible. three nights of biscuits- what more could a music lover ask for? I also hope this one turns out better than last year's as far as arrests.

DB singing is not great. I love the playing though.I understand how FANS can bring you down at a show.Try to ignore them.. best you can. watch the band, not the fans.I started to dis-like PHISH back in 95-2000 because the Scene in the LOT was so dirty and sketchy, fights breaking out all over.. I had to remind myself.. its not PHISH's fault, its just bad bad fans, with bad attitudes and no sense of brotherly love or sharing. I got over it.. you haters get over it too.. the music is still good.peace

i was just saying that i think their word choice was cocky...kinda like magner, who incidentally, lacks this so called amazing talent IMO. and for the record, i can enjoy really great music. have fun at camp, hope no one dies (seriously)

all you sandals with socks wearing,obnoxious tie die sporting,nerdy ass bobby fans can have that old school stuff.bobby was never the man ,jerry was,to lay a blanket statement about the scumbag biscuit fans just goes to show how old you are.fuckin geezers.bobby shows are for young bucks who don't know any better and oldheads that can't let go.

did i say no one ever dies at any festies? no. i was actually being sincere...the bisco crowd is hardcore, many hard drugs will be consumed...i hope everyone makes it out in one piece. and did bob weir personally offend you?

How come no one has mentioned SLICK RICK? I can't wait to see the rula! I've never seen the Biscuits and I probably won't be into their shit too much. I'm goin mainly for UM, Rick, and STS9 (ROCK, HIP-HOP, INSTRUMENTAL ROCK/HIP HOP). You guys have me a bit concerned about the crowd. I hope these bisco fans don't make me angry. They wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

I'm pretty sure that if the biscuits were selling their own e and k someone woulda opened their mouth to one too many people by know. I love how respectful these great hippies here are towards others' personal choices and tastes in music.

the crowds at biscuit shows are not that bad they do lean on you a little though so it might get a little cosy down front.if you don't like people in contact with you just stay to the sides.the people on this thread make you think you need a switchblade for security,it's totally not like that.

yes you have to be 21 and it's expensive,but worth every penny.there are ways around the age requirement,if you're willing to jump in a room with someone who's 21 or older.if you had a friend whos' 21 they could book the room but it's old out already.

the true music fan, hopefully will not be so callous. personally for me, I love the music and I ignore the fans that get in my way. I just move to another spot when I am being bothered by obnoxious people

What ever happened to liking more than one band? I enjoy SCI, Particle, STS9, Moe, UM, tDB, Galactic...why does there have to be so much hatred towards these bands? I never understood the elitist views that these 'supposed' fans carry with them. I'm no better myself; I just trashed TV on the Radio on another message board. Everyone talks about the jamscene being dead, and this is the negativity that kills it. If we keep it up we might all be listing to Fallout Boy in 5 years. Keep it positive.

I don't hate Buffet, but if I was given a choice of music to listen to, he and KISS would probably be two of my last. I would never tell someone not to enjoy his music though, that is just cruel. It's more of an inside joke with friends that like the parrothead scene. No harm meant.

Suckapunch is teriffic addition to camp.I mean with the biscuits and STS9 being there it was bound to happen. Im sorry the bays cant make it but if I was there id be pumped to see the Suckapunch/Shpongle collaboration.

there's sketchiness in every scene. but it's always easy to avoid, just remove yourself from the situation. if you dont like the music, well that 's one thing but dont knock our scene. we dont hate on y'all like y'all hate on us. and besides, jerry got sucked into hard drugs too man noone is perfect.

im with anyone who doesn't understand the whole ego-trippin band about how their favorite band is better than yours. i understood the concept with phish because they were damn near the end all be all.. but now that they're gone its like people need that one band that they can call their own, and since phish brought in a melting pot of people with different preferences in music, many of them chose different bands. its funny how rather than this becoming an opportunity for the jamband community to grow and unite it became a trigger to its demise.

its a real shame when fans get so uptight that they turn people off of "their" bands music...

Bisco rocks! And you can disagree and it won't bother me. I'll admit Panic fans annoy me most often, and more than once I've heard SCI "superfans" getting egotistical. Seriously, you don't like it when they played with Keller?? Its all good, they're all talented, so it just comes down to personal taste.

After hitting Wakarusa and 10klf this year, I do get the feeling the jam scene is shifting to more electronica and DJ style music. I was wishing for more of it 2 years ago, now I miss the diversity! (especially at Waka) Then bands like The Motet and Toubab Krewe appear and my faith is restored. I don't know what "jam band" means anymore, and thats a good thing.
